Locked up — Hi, I am trying this tool also, and using build 4.06 on FinFx, I dragged an EA onto a chart, then went back to edit the parameters and it locked up, basically the parameter window lost focus so I couldn't click Ok or Cancel, then ...

Thanks! — Looks like that's good enough for Government work! It only takes 4 minutes to test one day at M5 as opposed to 26 minutes, and the results look the same. I'm gonna put that in all my EAs and maybe even use it live!

Why doesn't this work? — So I tried this but it didn't make it any faster. Is my logic wrong? if(LastPrice == NormalizeDouble(Close[0],4)) return(0); ... LastPrice = NormalizeDouble(Close[0],4) Yes, I tried the High - Close code and it made it ...

That won't help — I'm not worried about the volume, I just want my backtests to run faster. Sure I can add code not to do anything in the EA unless a certain thing happens but that doesn't stop the tester from running through every single 1/10 ...

No trust — The reason I opened an account with FinFx is because of the Margin changes here in the U.S. With the new, stupid, U.S. rules, I have to keep ALL of my money in one brokerage account just to try to trade nearly any system. With a ...

No, he only trades 4 pairs on his system variation here, the EU, GU, AU, and UsdCad. And he was not looking for the Big One, since he capped his TP at 1:3. Trying to catch huge moves was the main feature of the Turtles trading style, which had a 70% ...

So slow — Yes, and I have just proven again that backtesting on a 4 digit broker is 10x faster than on a 5 digit broker. I still have one account that is 4 but they are getting hard to find. 5 is bad enough but I've heard some are 6! right now ...

zz3 — Yes, you can backtest it, but you're right, that you can't just look back and decide if you would take the trade. If you run the Strategy Tester in Visual mode, you can see exactly where the dots are in "real" time, and yes, they do ...

Hi, Paulus, must be nearing the end of your day, right? So more brain picking here: which "low" are you referring to? The 3? or the pivot rejection candle? I know some people would use the low of the wick and others would use the low of the candle ...

Ok, I didn't ask this question right. Since you place your stop below the last dot, what if your pivot rejection and then entry signal is 60 pips away from the last dot? It seems to me that is too far. In other words, do you have a max SL? E
